 * I have been over no end of tutorials and had contact with ISP support but cannot
   get this sorted. They told me to go down this route, which I am happy to do.
 * Our main site is [http://www.contemporaryenergy.co.uk](http://www.contemporaryenergy.co.uk)
 * I have developed a WP site in [http://contemporaryenergy.co.uk/wordpress/OnlineShop/](http://contemporaryenergy.co.uk/wordpress/OnlineShop/)
   and **it is part of a multisite network**.
 * I currently have a .htaccess redirect which sends users who type contemporaryenergy.
   co.uk across to [http://contemporaryenergy.co.uk/wordpress/OnlineShop/](http://contemporaryenergy.co.uk/wordpress/OnlineShop/)
 * So far so good. That is working as it should.
 * What I cannot get my head around is how to rename [http://contemporaryenergy.co.uk/wordpress/OnlineShop/](http://contemporaryenergy.co.uk/wordpress/OnlineShop/)
   to be just [http://contemporaryenergy.co.uk/](http://contemporaryenergy.co.uk/).
 * To put simply, I want to make the WP site [http://contemporaryenergy.co.uk/](http://contemporaryenergy.co.uk/),
   or at least make it APPEAR to users as .co.uk only.

 * You want the SUB site to be the main site AND move it to the root of the domain
   on a sub folder install?
 * In a word: OUCH.
 * Can you move the site?
